Whole Body DEXA Scan Studies
At Pramodini Imaging & Diagnostics, we offer Whole Body DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan studies to accurately measure bone mineral density (BMD) and assess overall bone health. DEXA scans are considered the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis and evaluating fracture risk. Our services support early detection of bone loss, monitoring of treatment response, and long-term bone health management, all performed with a strong focus on patient safety and comfort.
Special Studies Offered
Whole Body Bone Mineral Density (BMD) assessment
Hip and Spine DEXA Scan
Osteoporosis screening
Fracture risk assessment
Follow-up DEXA scans for treatment monitoring
Body composition analysis (where applicable)
Understanding the Technology
At Pramodini Imaging & Diagnostics, DEXA scanning uses low-dose X-rays at two different energy levels to accurately measure bone mineral density. This advanced technology provides precise and reliable assessment of bone strength while exposing patients to minimal radiation. DEXA scans are quick, non-invasive, and highly effective in detecting even early stages of bone loss, making them an essential tool in preventive and diagnostic bone health care.
